bob can you tell me if your ingnition ptu thingy coulf affect the volt/ampige going to your ice setup. good old johnny and i replaced my knackered one yesterday and now for some reason my tunes are larger than life and suffering no drop off at low bass whatsoever. could the knackered have been drawing excessive current do you think. oh and by the way lads the mitsibishi ptu which is supposed to be the upgraded one was the broken one i took off so it can't be that much improved

 

The best voltage for an amp to operate at is 13.4v, any variation in this will affect performance although you may not notice it unless the variation is more than a volt either way(this is why Caps are used for powerful installs)

If your PTU is faulty and pulling power from the battery then a loss in voltage to the amps will affect their performance, you will also lose 0.6v or thereabouts just from going from front to rear with the power cable.

I could rattle on about this all day but basically the answer is yes, any power drain will affect your amps performance.

by the way Tooly, i`ve been on holiday so let me know when you want the remote start for your car, i have it here waiting.

 

i'm ready when u r m8 just give me the date you want me up there and i'm there apart from march 2nd/3rd as im havin the psx2 fitted along with the upgrade with neons etc unless of course you wanna give me a quote on that as well but it has to be done before the stoke cruise on the 3rd as i will then be the only uk/jap car in the country to have dreamcast and psx2 both fitted and functional

 

Tooley, sorry to upset you but i think you may be the second, sorry!!

 

Bob

 

 

I`ll sort something out and give you a call, could do with having a look at your install to see what needs doing regarding the PS2.

 

Boys will be boys.

spill the beans bob who has had this done

 

I have it set up in my Shogun, i use it as a bit of a demo vehicle as it`s on the road more than the Z. I have TV, PS2, SatNav, Empeg and 3 monitors spread about the place!

To be honest though the Dreamcast is a temp thing i tried out, i had PS2 on the front monitor and Dreamcast on the rear. As i`m not a lover of the Dreamcast i`ll probably just stick with the PS2.

 

phew i dont mind if its a demo car but i wouldnt have been chuffed if it had been an everyday motor
